@MAFsoldier Floyd cheated JMM and came in close to 160.

I think 144 is totally fair. JMM and Pac are the same size. JMM weighed 145 vs Katsidis for a 135lb fight. Pac fought Cheato at 147 for a 150 lb fight.

JMM cuts weight to fight small guys. Manny is just as small but he has been beating bigger guys.

floyd fought at a catchweight and leonard too so what does that make dem?

[baller2011able]

@Am3ricabOy but floyd didnt do it for a title fight and he wasnt the one who requested it, marquez requested the catchweight

@hawkermustang My point was the fact that at least Roy fought a titleholder. Pac waited for Sergio to vacate the title. Again, giving him credit for beating a shot Margarito for a paper title is the same as giving Berbick credit for beating Ali. Flomoe? Haha, I'm not a Floyd fan or a Pac fan, I'm a Boxing fan. You don't have to like a fighter to appreciate real skill. It comes from being unbiased, buddy,

@hawkermustang I think Manny is prime but looked ordinary vs JMM, who I believe won the last fight. JMM fought more defensively which gave Manny problems. Foyd's not ducking. He knows how to play the psychological game. Arum is the one preventing this fight from happening. He made it that very clear right after the JMM fight.

@jperez9805 I think Manny is shot right now and Floyd is still ducking! 

[hawkermustang]

@jperez9805 I give Floyd credit for ducking any WW worth a shit and cherry picking bums.

[jperez9805]

@hawkermustang Giving Manny credit for beating a shot Margarito? So I guess we should give Larry Holmes and Berbick (RIP) credit for beating Muhammad Ali? How about Terry Norris for beating SRL? Maybe Hilton for beating Benitez?

@jperez9805 That was a retarded comment from a Flomoe. Roy Jones fought an old shot Ruiz that even in his prime was always the weak link at HW. Ruiz had lost many times before Roy Jones tried to fight him. Even David Tua had knocked out Ruiz in his prime in the 1st round. LOL Your ghetto punk hero Floyd is pussy! Floyd is much over hyped just like Roy Jones was.

@hawkermustang What Manny did was fight a spent bullet who did NOTHING to earn the shot at a VACATED 154 belt. Manny didn't fight in the 154 weight class. That would require him to ACTUALLY WEIGH within the category. Do you honestly believe that Margarito could repeat what he did to Sergio? Buddy, Margarito was shot before he fought Manny. At least Roy fought a titleholder not an unranked shot fighter. Sorry, pal but that's the inconvenient truth.

@jperez9805 What Manny did do was fight and destroy a much bigger man in a weight class Manny has no business fighting at.

What Floyd did do is straight DUCK Margarito at 147 when both guys were at the top of that division.

Did Roy Jones win a H.W. belt? Yes. Did Roy Jones fight the weakest link at H.W.? Yes.

Has Floyd fought Martinez at 154? No, he is ducking him.

Did Margarito KO Martinez when they fought? Yes.
